I am lying here on my deathbed.

Doing the only thing one can in his deathbed,

Dying.


Mother,

I don't want to die. I tell her.

I don't like being here on my deathbed,

Dying.


I don’t want you to die either honey,

Mother says,

Through fits of sobbing.


Mother?

Yes honey?

You don’t want me to die right? I ask.

That’s what I just said,

Fool. She says back.


Well if neither of want me to die here,

On my deathbed.

Then my last wish will be,

Will you please move me to my life bed?

This is a bit of a sarcastic piece about death. It is a way of making death funny by avoiding any of the serious implications of it.
